Move it or LOSE it

Our ancestors had a different word for exercise: life.

Learn how to tweak your daily routines so that you are naturally more active.

For the vast majority of our evolutionary history, we humans had to exert ourselves - often quite strenuously - to get food. We naturally spent a lot of time outdoors in the sun walking, hunting, gathering, and performing various other physically-oriented tasks.

For the vast majority of our evolutionary history, we humans had to exert ourselves - often quite strenuously - to get food. We naturally spent a lot of time outdoors in the sun walking, hunting, gathering, and performing various other physically-oriented tasks.

I'm sure this isn't news to you; most people are aware that physical activity is essential to good health. But what you may not know is that an explosion of recent research indicates that sitting too much is harmful - even if you're getting adequate exercise.

This means you could be meeting the recommended guidelines for exercise, but still be at higher risk of disease if you sit for long periods each day. Some research even suggests that people who exercise intensely (like marathon runners) are more likely to be sedentary when they're not exercising. They may assume that their training regimen protects them from the harmful effects of too much sitting when they're not exercising. It doesn't.

In industrialized societies, this "active couch potato" phenomenon has become the norm rather than the exception. If you work in an office, commute by car and watch a few hours of TV each night, it's not hard to see how you could spend the vast majority of your waking life (up to 15 hours!) sitting on your butt. This is far outside of evolutionary norms for humans, and has serious consequences for our health.

The solution? We should move like our ancestors.
